Description kevin paetzold 2014-09-30 12:32:37 UTC

Description of problem:
Recently received updates with
krfb-4.14.1-1.fc20.x86_64 and krfb-libs-4.14.1-1.fc20.x86_64

After taking this update krfb stopped working. Upon investigation I noticed that the TCP listener port for krfb (usually 5900) was not open.

Also every time that krfb starts a pop up that seems to be part of kwallet shows up. It wants me to define a wallet etc... (I actually have kwallet disabled.) Nothing I have done (incuding enabling kwallet) seems to make it happy such that it does not appear the next time krfb is started.

This was not happening with krfb-libs-4.13.3-4.fc20.x86_64 and krfb-4.13.3-4.fc20.x86_64.

krfb-libs.x86_64 4.11.3-1.fc20 @fedora
krfb.x86_64 4.11.3-1.fc20 @fedora

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

krfb-4.14.1-1.fc20.x86_64 and krfb-libs-4.14.1-1.fc20.x86_64

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update to krfb-4.14.1-1.fc20
2. start krfb (either with or without --nodialog)
3. try to connect to the vnc that krfb should have created.

Actual Results:
connection refused and also a popup related to kwallet everytime krfb is started.

Expected Results:
should have worked as before.

I did various bugzilla searches and did not get any hits. I first entered this on redhat bugzilla for fedora 20:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147733

comment below is from above redhat bugzilla entry:
"Rex Dieter 2014-09-30 07:53:00 EDT
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdenetwork/krfb/repository/revisions/c558eaf9b68114f47a7d6fe0dd392212e6e6dce1
confirmed, looks like the "Fall back to config file if KWallet not available" part isn't working as intended."

I was able to get around this by yum downgrade krfb and ended up at krfb-4.14.1-1.fc20.x86_64 krfb-libs-4.14.1-1.fc20.x86_64. I expect that krfb-libs-4.13.3-4.fc20.x86_64 and krfb-4.13.3-4.fc20.x86_64 would also have worked. The actual command I used was "yum downgrade krfb krfb-libs kdenetwork kdenetwork-common".

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

it may take me a few days to check this out.  i stopped using kde and i will need to make a kde vm to check this out.

Thanks for the update!

Comment 4 kevin paetzold 2018-11-12 19:40:41 UTC

I used the GA of fedora 29 kde.
The problem no longer seems to occur.
i disabled kwallet and i was able to successfully use krfb without the pop up (or any other issue).
